The following statement that is true is : wave A is more powerful than wave B

Answer

Correct answer is

wave A is more powerful than wave B

Step-by-step explanation

Fetch of a wave is the length of water over which a wind blow. It is clear that the wave which has longer fetch will have higher energy level. And higher energy level wave will be more powerful that wave which has short fetch. hence wave A which has longer fetch than wave B will be more powerful that wave B.
